33rd Annual Afro Ball

Dresses, dancing, music and fun. You’ll find all of these and more at the annual Grace Center Junior High Afro Ball on May 21. For the 33rd year, this event offers a fun, social, and safe environment for all area 7th and 8th graders. Each year, the Ball brings in around 800 area middle school students. This year’s theme is, “The future belongs to those who prepare.”

The event will be held at the SeaGate Convention Center from 7-11pm. Tickets are $30 and must be purchased with a parent at Grace Community Center, 406 West Delaware Avenue. Students must provide a student ID and fill out a registration form for ticket purchase. Proceeds from the event will help fund Grace Community Center’s youth programs, including the Edu-camp program.
